I met up with Gabrielle & Adam a few days ago for their engagement session and I’m so excited to share some photos! They both enjoy grabbing a drink and chilling together, so to incorporate that into their photos we started off at the Virgin Hotel. The hotel is a meticulously-decorated, perfectly classy setting for photos, and it actually just opened its doors a couple of months ago. (Thanks Virgin for letting us snap a few photos in your space!)

After that, we headed to Baker Beach to catch the sunset and some views of the waves and Golden Gate Bridge. [ read more … ]

It’s always great to have couples who don’t quite take themselves too seriously. Laura Beth & Andrew are a wonderful couple who just can’t stop smiling and laughing with each other. They’re cute and perfect together — and it’s the candid laughs and real interactions that I loved so much about this session. And we still got plenty of romantic portraits, like the ones you’ll see below 🙂 The golden sunset and textured skies certainly didn’t disappoint either! Take a look at some of the highlights from their engagement shoot!

Bruce and Hannah are cute, lovey, and total goofballs. We felt like the two of us had a lot in common with them (mostly the goofy part), and I think it helped make for a perfect engagement shoot! We started off at Gott’s Roadside at the Ferry Building, as food is a big part of their lives and they often like to spend time with each other there. (Side note: the garlic fries there are sooooooo good!) We kept it super casual and had a lot of fun, and I love the way their silly personalities light up in these. [ read more … ]

This engagement shoot was an absolute dream for us. Carmen & Michael had the great idea of doing their engagement photos inside the San Francisco ISAIA store on Maiden Lane, where they often visit to shop and enjoy some drinks. It’s an Italian luxury menswear brand located in a unique, beautiful building designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, and from ceiling to floor, this place is pure eye candy for a photographer. Although I’m sure these two would look amazing anywhere, this absolutely gorgeous indoor space was a perfect match for them! [ read more … ]

Peyton wanted to make his first visit to San Francisco with Bianca an extra special one for them to remember for a lifetime. He didn’t originally intend for this to be a Fairmont rooftop garden proposal — originally, Peyton had planned to pop the question along the edge of the San Francisco Bay, but the weather forecast started looking worse and worse and had us looking for alternatives. Luckily, they were actually staying at the Fairmont Hotel, which was fantastic because its beautiful garden with a sweeping view of the San Francisco skyline was just a short walk from their room!
